From Chilly Tile to Cozy Comfort

A master bathroom remodel is the perfect opportunity to blend beautiful aesthetics with functional luxury. For this 65-square-foot project, the goal was to create a high-end spa feel. However, the new tile and stone flooring, known for being cold, would detract from that sense of comfort, especially during Indiana's chilly mornings.

The installer, The HomeWright LLC, worked with WarmlyYours to design a custom in-floor heating solution. They selected the flexible TempZone™ Floor Heating Cable, which allowed them to lay out the heating elements precisely, ensuring 100% coverage across the room's unique footprint. The cable was secured to the wood subfloor using fixing strips and then embedded in thin-set mortar just before the tile was laid. This process is efficient and adds no significant height to the floor.

The result is a stunning master bathroom where the comfort truly matches the high-end look. The radiant floor heating provides consistent, even warmth from the ground up, turning the entire space into a cozy oasis. Paired with an nSpire Touch programmable thermostat, the homeowners can now schedule their floor warming to be toasty warm exactly when they wake up, optimizing both comfort and energy efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does it cost to run electric floor heating in a Carmel bathroom?

Operating cost depends on your local electricity rate, system size, and usage. For this 65 sq. ft. Carmel bathroom, it costs about $0.15 per hour. For a typical 8-hour daily heating schedule, that's less than $1.25 per day, making it a very affordable luxury.

2. What flooring works best with TempZone™ heating system?

Tile, marble, and stone—like the flooring used in this project—are the best conductors for radiant floor heating. They heat up quickly, retain warmth well, and transfer it efficiently to the room. Our systems are also fully compatible with laminate, luxury vinyl (LVT), and engineered wood.

3. Is electric radiant floor heating energy efficient?

Yes. Radiant floor heating is highly efficient because it heats objects and people in the room directly, rather than just heating the air (which rises to the ceiling). When paired with a programmable thermostat, you only use energy precisely when and where you want it, which significantly reduces waste.

4. Can radiant floor heating be the only heat source in this bathroom?

In many cases, yes. In a well-insulated space like a bathroom, a "Full" coverage electric floor warming system can often provide enough ambient heat to be the primary, or even sole, heat source. This eliminates the need for drafty vents or bulky baseboard heaters.
